Thanks for the submissions. First, the To Go in #37 needs to be smaller. Second, the chef needs to be more formal and less cartoonish. We're going for a feel of expense, quality, and luxury so the chef on the side needs to not look like a cartoon. The idea of a character is good and I would like to see some more ideas related to the character.
1. Let's try to make the man look a bit different. He looks too Italian (similar to Mario Brothers). Perhaps we reduce the size of the nose and either eliminate the mustache or not make it look so droopy.
2. The versions that I put in not interesting are simply because we don't like the To Go font with the lines. Maybe try To Go in proper case and experiment with some other fonts.
3. Can you try a version of the man running and holding the platter with two hands?
The To Go in #107 and #108 is very interesting. Good eye. Unfortunately it doesn't work since we will be using this in other concepts besides To Go (kitchen, cafe, etc).
Thanks. #167 is better, but the contrast of the hat on the white is still not right. Maybe we will have to put him in front of a colored backdrop. Black? In that case his shoes would need to be white. I'm not sure what to do there, but we will need a backdrop to prevent the hat from washing out. Either that or we need to outline his hat in a dark color.
Let's see it with and without the mustache. Thanks
About the hat we can make it in a darker gray to make more contrast against white, or we can make it in the same blue as the Chef clothes. We can make it in white and maybe a green background which is food related to, vegetables and organic.
